Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 1 small cauliflower (about 400g), broken into small florets
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3cm chunks
  • 4 tbsp tikka curry paste, from a 290g jar
  • 1 x 400ml tin coconut milk
  • 1 x 200g pack baby leaf spinach
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 4 mini naan breads

Step by step

  1. Heat a large deep frying pan, add the coconut and cook for about 1 minute until toasted. Remove to a plate. Return the pan to a high heat, add the butter and, when melted, add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until charred in places. Tip the cauliflower onto a plate and set aside.
  2. Return the pan to the heat and add the oil, then the onion and sweet potatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the tikka curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring, before adding the coconut milk. Stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Return the cauliflower to the pan, cook for a further 2-3 minutes until tender, then stir in the spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted.
  4. Spoon the curry into bowls, sprinkle over the toasted coconut and serve with the lime wedges and mini naan breads on the side, if you like.
